Want It Wednesday-Not Books

More Want It Wednesday, only this time it's not books! Sometimes in my blog travels, I come across items that aren't books, but I still love and wish I had. These are various things that I've found while reading blogs that I now want for myself.



Ok, seriously, how cute are these shoes??? I saw them on Meg Cabot's website last week and I have been lusting after them ever since! If only I had a good place to wear them. As cute as they would look at my school visits for summer reading, I'm afraid I'd end up tripping over myself. (Which surely would entertain the teens!) I just had to share with everyone, because they deserve to be shared.



This Twilight thing has gotten so out of control, there's now Twilight perfume! I guess that's what happens when you can't think of anything else to market the movie. Yes, Harry Potter has Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, but at least those were in the books. The perfume-not so much. But I must admit, as silly as I think it is, it's in a pretty cute bottle. I just hope it smells good, or my library will be full of funky smelling teens!







Thanks to Lauren at Shooting Stars Mag for blogging about this today. I too am offically in love with this coin purse. How cute is this thing?? You can find them in all sorts of colors too, which is so much fun.

    Meg's shoes are adorable--gotta love Betsey Johnson--her designs are so cute and fun! And the Twilight perfume...oh my god. They've gone way too far on merchandising. Next they'll be selling TWILIGHT underwear....and toothpaste....and chips and apple-shapes...LOL

GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Have you ever had a book sit on your shelf that you've heard so much hype about? And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails? I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed. I should have known better because Eleanor and Park was perfect and everything that I had hoped it wou
